Lana Del Rey became an overnight sensation when her captivating YouTube clip reached over nine million views. As one of music’s exciting newcomers, the much-talked about vocalist releases her highly anticipated major label debut, Born To Die. Engulfed with skillful songwriting, smoky vocals and a variation of lines, Lana Del Rey showcases veteran-like experience. Included is the hit single “Video Games” that rocketed Del Rey to mainstream success. The album debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Top 200 and proves the sultry singer lives up to the hype.

Call Honeymoon the third installment in a trilogy if you will but there's no indication Lana Del Rey will put her doomed diva persona to rest after this album. Over the course of three albums, Lana Del Rey hasn't so much expanded her delicately sculpted persona as she has refined it, removing anything extraneous to her exquisite ennui. Honeymoon doesn't drift or float, it marks time, sometimes swelling with a suggestion of impending melodrama but often deflating to just an innervated pulse. Apart from the syncopated chorus on "High on the Beach," any lingering element of the hip-hop affectations of Born to Die have been banished and so have the shade and light Dan Auerbach brought to Ultraviolence, a record that feels cinematic in comparison to Honeymoon.

Ultraviolence is Lana Del Rey's third studio album. After stating that she had no plans of releasing a follow up album to Born to Die, Del Rey viewed Ultraviolence as snippets of her past as opposed to a journey. Del Rey commented that the album is "…a little more stripped down, but still cinematic and dark. I've been working on it really slowly, but I love everything I've done." The album features singles "Ultraviolence", "Shades of Cool", "West Coast", and "Brooklyn Baby".

Ultraviolence is the third studio album and second major-label record by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, released on June 13, 2014 by UMG Recordings. Ultraviolence received positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who commended its cohesion as a concept album, compared to her previous albums, and its overall production. It has also been noted as an improvement from Del Rey's debut album Born to Die. It debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 182,000 copies, becoming Del Rey's first number-one album on the chart and the best-selling debut week of her career.
